Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Dates, Locations, and Event Details

Get ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Niantic has announced the dates and locations for this year's in-person events earlier than usual, allowing ample time for planning.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Dates and Locations:

Niantic has confirmed three locations for GO Fest 2025, all in June:

• GO Fest Osaka, Japan: May 29th – June 1st
• GO Fest Jersey City, New Jersey, USA: June 6th – June 8th
• GO Fest Paris, France: June 13th – June 15th

Tickets aren't yet available, but players should start planning travel and time off. Similar to previous years, ticket selection will likely involve choosing a specific day within the event window.

A global GO Fest event hasn't been announced but is anticipated later in June or early July, based on past trends.

Confirmed Locations:

• Osaka, Japan
• Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
• Paris, France

This year's lineup features returning locations (Japan and the US) and a new addition (France, replacing Spain from 2024). A global, virtual event is also expected to follow the in-person festivities.

Event Details:

While specific details are scarce, GO Fest typically introduces new Pokémon, features increased raid activity, exciting wild spawns, Shiny Pokémon debuts, and other bonuses. More information is expected after the conclusion of the GO Tour: Unova in February 2025 (New Taipei City, Taiwan and Los Angeles, California).

Last year's GO Fest introduced Necrozma and the Fusion mechanic, offering a glimpse into what might be in store for 2025.
